Description (2950 characters max)
I’m Ashanti Hazina, a semi-quirky expressive arts therapist who is trauma-informed and very much about feeling feels. In the more official language of licensure and directories, I’m a mental health therapist specializing in expressive arts and somatics.
What that actually means is:
- I integrate art-based activities,
- I invite folks to check in with their bodies for deeper awareness,
- I weave in the lenses that shape how I understand healing, power, identity, and connection.

We Say Asé is both an affirmation and a practice. It’s a space — digital and wherever you are — where folks get to:
- practice being embodied
- practice being witnessed
- practice expression
- gain insight into their inner world
and tap into their own creative wellness and inner resources.
My work is rooted in liberatory and Black feminist theory — frameworks that center:
- self-definition
- collective wisdom
- intersectionality
- critical consciousness
- and pleasure activism
AND YES 〰️ all held in a relational context.
